Hey all, today I'd thought I'd show the beginnings of a Tyranid Broodlord that I have just started.
The Broodlord is the final model of a large Tyranid army that I am painting for someone. I will show more photos next week once everything has been finalised. This project has really nearly killed me due to how many models I have had to paint. I've counted about a 100 figures. The Broodlord above is from the Space Hulk box set. I was asked to fit the model base wise in with the other models so I sawed the majority of the skull industrial base off. What do you think so far?

100 figures is "many"? Out of curiosity, I need to ask, what size are the armies you usually paint? I'm currently having a FaBa Empire army on my table, and I've counted well over 300 models - and it isn't anything unusual.

Hey Eekenator, a hundred figures for me is a lot in one go. Most size armies are usually around 35/40 models if its for 40K. Fantasy can be a bit higher, but I'd normally split the orders into two halves depending on how long it will take. A lot of times it's just single models or small units.

looks great as usual! love the gritty, realistic style and color scheme. Looking forward to seeing the other models or a large group shot, especially if you have any spore mines/mucolid spores, venomthropes, or a tyrannocyte! I would like to see how you do large fleshy areas in this scheme, or the toxin sacs of a venomthrope.
